Cortana isn't available in the region and language you've selected

Hi all,

I know there have been numerous posts regarding Cortana, mostly to do with company policy but I installed Windows 10 Enterprise as a clean install from my MAPS subscription. I cannot turn Cortana on, I have the search box but the option to turn Cortana on
is greyed out with the message as displayed in the title. If I click on "why?" I get the following description:

Why isn't Cortana in my region or language?

Cortana is available in the following countries/regions: China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States. Cortana is available in these languages: Chinese (Simplified), English (U.K.), English (U.S.), French, Italian, German, and
Spanish

• To use Cortana, all these settings must be set to the same language:
  • Languages (this is your device language)
  • Speech language (language pack must be installed)
  • Country or region
• Note: If you change your region, you might not be able to shop at Store, or use things you've purchased, like memberships and subscriptions, games, movies, TV, and music.

I have checked out numerous posts, & made sure that all of my system & language settings are the same, all UK English. I did notice that the speech recognition for Cortana UK English was NOT installed but I have since added that & restarted but Cortana still
remains disabled. Has anybody else experienced &/or fixed this? Not a life or death issue I know but it's annoying anyway! Look forward to suggestions.

 

setting up cortana in your country/region/language

Below is the official advice

it is incorrect, you also need to change your "Windows Display Language" found in Control Panel>Clock, Language, Region>Language> then select your language and choose "Make this the primary Language" it will prompt you to log off and log back on, then as
long as the Windows display language matches your Language Speech language and Country / Region in the modern "settings>Time & Language" Cortana will work

 

Cortana not recognising UK region setting

Hi Laurence,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would like to inform you that as of now Cortana is only available for U.S.-English. Though search will work in all languages.

I suggest you to change the Language and Region to English (United States), United States to explore Cortana.

You may follow below steps to perform the same.

• Press windows key + x
• Open Control Panel.
• If you’re in the standard view, open Clock, Language, and Region and then click Region.
• In Region change the following settings:
  • Go to Formats tab and set format as English (United States).
  • Go to Location tab and set Home Location as United States.
  • Go to Administrative tab and set Current System Locale to English (United States).

4. In Clock, Language, and Region, click Languages and make sure English (United States) is set as your primary language. If you don’t have the language install, click on Add a language, search for English (United States), install
it, and set it as your primary.

5. Re-boot your computer and you should now be able to use Cortana outside of the US.

Hope these information helps, please get back to us for future support, we’ll be glad to assist you further.
